Useful links before you start.

Relationship and sponsorship evidence is technical. These are good starting points while you gather Form 888 declarations and supporting documents.

Common partner visa mistakes

  • Submitting thin or generic relationship evidence across the four pillars.
  • Inconsistent dates or details between the sponsor's and applicant's statements.
  • Missing Form 888 statutory declarations from independent witnesses.
  • Assuming a previous sponsorship limitation will not apply to a new application.
  • Not disclosing a relationship breakdown before it affects visa processing.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Technical analysis and expert answers to help families and partners navigate the 2026 migration programme with legal precision.

01

How long do partner visas take to process?

Processing times vary by stream. Onshore 820 applications often range from 12-24 months for the temporary stage, while offshore 309 applications can take 15-22 months. Decision-ready evidence can reduce delays.

02

What evidence do I need for a genuine relationship?

The Department assesses financial aspects, household arrangements, social recognition, and the nature of your commitment. We help structure these evidence pillars clearly.

03

Can I work in Australia on a partner visa?

Yes. Once a temporary partner visa is granted, you have unrestricted work and study rights. Onshore applicants may also receive a Bridging Visa A with work rights.

04

What happens if my relationship breaks down?

You may still be eligible under special provisions involving family violence, shared parental responsibilities for an Australian citizen child, or the death of a sponsor.

05

How much does a partner visa cost in 2026?

The Department application charge currently starts from approximately $9,000+ AUD for the main applicant. Additional costs may include dependants, health checks, and police clearances.
